The royal court of East Xianbei.
"How come it's been so long since there's no news?"
Su Li kept walking back and forth in the dental tent, holding a fist in her right hand and beating the palm of her left hand, looking particularly anxious.
He couldn't help but be anxious.
He had to give an explanation to Han Ting as soon as possible about the robbery and murder of the envoy, otherwise God knows what would happen.
A fast horse came galloping outside the tent.
As soon as the horse stopped, the knight on the horse rolled down.
The guards outside the tent immediately stepped forward to help the person into the tent.
When Su Li saw it, he immediately shouted: "Hurry up and get some water for him to drink."
After drinking a bowl of water, the knight who had just fainted finally woke up.
"Khan, we found two battlefields.
One is under the mountain forest east of Uzumu.
The mountain forest has been burned.
About five thousand Murong tribes.
People were killed, and there were more than 4,000 corpses of our army.
The heads of Murong's tribe had been chopped off and loaded into vehicles, but Yu Wenmona's army was not seen at the scene.
They continued to search north, and after searching for several days, they finally found another battlefield two days south of the Daxianbei Mountains.
There were more than 6,000 corpses of our army on the battlefield, and more than 10,000 Murong corpses.
The corpses of the tribe members are all old people.
Yuwen Mona and the remaining soldiers and horses are missing.
We suspect that Yuwen Mona chased the remaining Murong tribe members to the Daxianbei Mountains."
Su Li's face was solemn: "Is the battle so tragic?
Tens of thousands of people were lost before and after?"
The knight said: "There should be more than that.
There should be corpses of our men among the burned mountains and forests."
Su Li's face turned pale: "According to this, Yu Wenmona doesn't have many people left in his hands.
How did this battle end like this?"
Yuwen Guiyi, who was standing next to him, said: "Khan, this is a battle of genocide that affects the life and death of the whole clan.
Can the people of the Murong tribe not fight to the death?
Even the old and the weak are participating in the battle.
They hold the belief that they will die and fight to the death with Yuwen Mona.
In this battle, Yu Wenmona must have suffered heavy losses.
We have suffered a big loss in this battle."
Having said this, Yuwen Guiyi saluted Suli and said: "Khan, the population of our Yuwen tribe is not large, and the number of soldiers we can fight is less than 30,000.
Yuwen Mogui took away 15,000 people, and now we only have 15,000 soldiers."
I'm afraid there aren't many left.
There are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the clan.
It can be said that we have lost more than half of our strength.
This is all caused by Yu Wenmona's unfavorable battle.
He must be held accountable, otherwise we cannot explain to all the clan members. " Su Li was also very worried.
If the news spread that Yuwen Mogna had lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, the leaders would probably rush into his tent to find him and question him.
A cold light flashed in Su Li's eyes, and he immediately shouted: "Immediately send people to the north to find Yuwen Mona's army, and bring Yuwen Mona back to me.
In addition, bring back the heads of all the Murong tribe members.
We must use these heads to An explanation from Han Ting” "Yes, Khan" Yuwen Guiyi immediately agreed and turned around to go out.

It was already May and all preparations for the expedition had been completed, but no one knew when Liu Cheng would set off.
On this day, Liu Cheng sent someone to find Yan Xing and said, "I don't know much about the situation in Sichuan and Shu.
Although Zhong Yao and officials and military generals in Sichuan and Shu often report to him, they have not personally reported it.
I have gone to see it, but I don’t know whether what they say is true or not.
You also know that many officials and generals always report good news but not bad news.
I can't escape from the imperial court, and I may have to personally lead the troops to attack Eastern Xianbei, so I want you to inspect Sichuan and Shu as the emperor's envoy, and I will give you two hundred escorts to protect all places in Sichuan and Shu.
Go for a walk and write down what you see and hear everywhere you go, and give it to me for review when you come back.
What do you think?"
Yan Xing clasped his fists and agreed: "I don't know when I will leave."
"Of course, the faster, the better.
Now the weather is starting to get hot.
You'd better hurry up and get to Yizhou.
It's not fun to rush in the scorching heat on the way."
"Understood, I will leave in two days."
Five days later, Zhao Rui, the commander of the Bronze Mirror Division, reported to Liu Cheng: "Your Majesty, General Yan Xing has entered Hanzhong with his guards."
"Okay."
Liu Cheng nodded and told Zhao Rui: "After I leave, the Bronze Mirror Division should keep a closer eye.
Recently, some people in the court have been restless and always want to cause something to happen.
If you find anything, please report it to Xun Yu and he will deal with it."
"yes" "You go ahead" After Zhao Rui left, Liu Cheng sent someone to find Chen Dao.
"Chen arrived to pay homage to the lord" Liu Cheng helped Chen Dao up and said: "I will go north to lead the army to attack Eastern Xianbei in the near future.
However, recently some people in the DPRK have been restless and want to cause trouble, but they have not exposed their feet and have no leverage against me." in public hands, so now It's not easy to take action.
As soon as I leave, they may take action.
I appoint you as General Zuowuwei to command the Zuowuwei troops and send troops at critical moments to quell the riots, destroy the rebels, and capture the rebels."
After saying this, he took out a The policy book was handed over to Chen Dao.
"Take the order."
Chen Dao accepted the policy book with a serious face and clasped his fists, loudly agreeing, but soon hesitated and asked: "Lord, if something really happens, whose order will the general follow?"
Liu Chengdao: "Who do you think you should listen to?"
Chen Dao thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "The last general will not listen to anyone's orders.
He only listens to the master's orders and will lead his troops to kill anyone who rebels."
Liu Cheng patted Chen Dao on the shoulder, nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"I'm going to leave."
Chen Dao clasped his fists and retreated.
Guo Jia came out from behind the screen and asked, "My lord, if you leave Chang'an now, you will feel relieved."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "This time Fengxiao, you and Li Ru will stay in Chang'an to look after the house.
With you here, our guild will feel more at ease."
Guo Jia sighed: "I originally wanted to follow my lord to experience the scenery of the Northeast, but it seems that this time it won't be possible."
Liu Cheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked: "After I leave, some people will definitely be unable to hold on.
How do Fengxiao think they will do it?"
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Compared with the stability of Chang'an, the lord is more dangerous outside.
The power of the court is in the hands of the lord.
If anyone wants to seize power, they can only kill the lord.
Otherwise, even if Chang'an is captured, there will be no commander other than the lord."
The army can break through Chang'an in an instant and wipe out the rebels, so they can only kill the lord first.
Once the lord is dead, they can launch in Chang'an City, control the Grand Sima Mansion and the garrison in the city, and then fake the emperor's order to seize power."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and frowned: "According to what you said, I must die once, otherwise certain people will not show up."
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "My lord doesn't actually have to die.
I just need to send people to arrest some of the people for interrogation and get their confessions of conspiring to kill my lord."
They were arrested based on their confessions.”
Liu Cheng shook his head: "Oral confessions cannot be used as evidence.
People will say that the confessions were obtained by being beaten into submission.
This is not convincing.
Unless we intercept the letters between them collaborating to plot the rebellion, or wait for them to take action, you cannot arrest people based on oral confessions alone.
This will cause trouble."
The government and the public are in panic.
There are rules within the government.
How can there be chaos?
If you mess up the rules on this kind of thing, you will lose the support of the people.
The support of the people does not only refer to the thoughts of the people, but also refers to the public support within us.
If I arrest Xun Yu and others with just a confession today, you will What was Guo Fengxiao’s reaction and feeling?
Do you think it’s ridiculous or do you think I’ve lost my mind?”
Guo Jia was startled, took a step back and bowed, "My lord is wise."
On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Liu Cheng set out from Chang'an with 500 escort cavalry and 5,000 elite cavalry to the Danhanshan camp.
The accompanying generals included Ma Chao, Pang De, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others.
This is the first time Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have gone on an expedition with the army since they passed the martial arts examination and entered the army to learn to command troops and become generals.
Yang Dingcheng.
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Ding looked up and saw Wang Li walking in, stood up and said, "Brother Wang, what are you doing here today?"
Wang Li smiled and said: "Today I want to discuss loyalty with Brother Yang."
Yang Ding raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Wang has been here for quite some time.
Over the past few days, Brother Wang has always been testing my attitude towards the current situation in the court, intentionally or unintentionally alluding to the influence of what the Protector has done.
Dong Zhuo's suspicion, I don't know who Brother Wang is.
I thought you and I would get to know each other, and ask where Brother Wang came from and where he is going back.
I will pretend that I don't know that Brother Wang has been here.
Otherwise, don't blame me.
No mercy” "Haha, don't be anxious, Brother Yang."
Wang Li said with a smile.
He took out a golden button and a golden lock from his sleeves and said, "Before I came, my wife and nephew dragged me to say hello to Brother Yang.
You Look, this is a token of their mother-in-law’s.”
Yang Ding's expression changed, and he immediately took a few steps forward and grabbed Jin Bu Yao and Jin Suo.
When he saw the unique marks on Jin Bu Yao and Jin Suo, he became furious on the spot and shouted: "Wang Li, you are so mean. " Wang Li spread his hands and said with a smile: "There is no way, I know that Brother Yang will not agree to me easily, so I can only find a solution from my wife and nephew."
Yang Ding stepped forward and grabbed Wang Li's lapel, lifted him up, and asked: "What did you do to the two of them?
If they lose a hair, I, Yang Ding, will cut you into pieces."
The smile on Wang Li's face slowly faded, and he pointed at Yang Ding's hand that lifted him up and said, "Brother Yang is still too impulsive.
You should know that if something happens to me, my wife and nephew will definitely not end well.
So let’s talk calmly, okay?”
Yang Ding was so angry that he panted like a cow.
After a long time, he put down Wang Li, loosened his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
Wang Ding said seriously: "Kill Liu Cheng, the traitor who stole the country, and return the government to your Majesty."
Yang Ding looked at Wang Li with wide eyes and shouted: "I think you are crazy.
If you weren't crazy, everyone in the world would be crazy.

Since Princess Protector's administration, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
The prestige of the court is gradually restored, the people are getting rich and well-fed, and the officials are He is pure and honest.
The emperor knows nothing in the deep palace.
Are you willing to mess up the world again?"
Yang Ding walked behind a short table and sat down, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, and said: "Brother Yang, how do you know that His Majesty cannot govern the world well?
To tell you the truth, Your Majesty has just been hiding his power and biding his time.
Before this time, I came here just to receive orders from His Majesty."
"Hey, do you think I'll believe it?"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but Brother Yang, you must listen to me and raise an army to kill the traitor Liu Cheng.
Otherwise, I can't guarantee the life safety of my wife and nephew.
Should you protect Liu Cheng or your wife and children?"
